Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 140 Case Solved

The next morning. reporters surrounded the studio. Since Erin’s news made it to the top of the trending topics, all major websites sent reporters overnight to follow the developments of the case closely. The local authorities fell the pressure from public opinion and couldn’t afford to slack off with so many media outlets watching.

At 8 am, five police cars entered the studio. It was reported that the suspect had turned himself in, confessing to the crime and the sequence of events. When Erin received this news, she happened to be in the hotel, and Roman had informed her about it over the phone.

He mentioned that the culprit was either a local resident of Fleuverton or a supporting actor on the set. The investigators had found the

costumes and animal masks worn by the suspect in his rented house. Everything matched the description provided by Erin.

The case was quickly solved, disappointing many media outlets that had come to Fleuverton thinking they could get a sensational story.

Little did they expect it to be resolved so quickly.

The potential scoop of the year became an ordinary criminal case.

However, after this incident, the female actors in the crew became more cautious when going out, and they often traveled in groups.

By 1 pm, filming resumed in the studio, and all the actors gradually returned to the set.

Following this incident, the staff in the studio and the production crew made a unanimous decision that everyone entering or leaving the set must present valid identification. Those without identification would not be allowed in even if they were accompanied by someone familiar. Even all the extras in the crew obtained temporary actor certificates, which were processed overnight by the production staff.

Rumor had it that it was an order from a big shot. Erin naturally had no idea that this decision was made due to Chandler putting pressure

on the CEO of the studio.

Originally, Chandler wanted to see Erin personally, but he received urgent news that his grandfather, Gaston, had suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. Therefore, Chandler took a helicopter back to the city at 10 am.

Before leaving, he didn’t even make a phone call to Erin. He wanted to see her, but he didn’t dare call her. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be

able to leave after hearing her voice. He couldn’t afford to stay there any longer as his grandfather’s condition was quite severe.

Erin also didn’t contact Chandler. She didn’t dare tell him about that incident. On one hand, she didn’t want him to worry, and on the other

hand, she felt that it was too embarrassing and not worth mentioning. But since the news was already known to everyone, Erin was

somewhat disappointed that Chandler didn’t call her to show concern.
